State and Local Funds

The County manages three programs from State and Local funds to finance affordable housing in Contra Costa County: 

  • The State of California' Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), 
  • Measure X funded Housing Fund, and 
  • In-Lieu Fees associated with the implementation of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. 

Together, these funding sources provide financial assistance towards creating healthy and affordable housing in Contra Costa County. The funds are allocated on an annual basis as part of the Affordable Housing Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).
